FOLLOWING MONEY IN 2016 PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS

Thursday, July 11, 2013

READ, NEW TARGET: Sheriff Joe Arpaio Needs A "New Fight"; Branching Out To Go After Hillary Clinton Presidential Run, Or Giving Up On Obama Birth Certificate?

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said today that he is "ready to take on a new fight" and that "America is in trouble." Therefore, he is lending his clout to raise money to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming the next President of the United States.

The fundraising e-mail sent out on behalf of the Stop Hillary PACis posted in full below the jump, and indicates that he is taking on a new fight. Even with his full-time job as Sheriff, he would seem to be able to simply add this fight to protect the United States from electing a "dangerous anti-capitalist" to his current fights against the current President's alleged birth certificate forgery and to trying to thwart illegal immigration.

However, he has not (visibly) attempted to raise funds recently on either the birth certificate issue or immigration. And, although he has not made any (visible*) progress on his Cold Case Posse's continuing investigation into Barack Obama's birth certificate, Arpaio's lead investigator, Mike Zullo, says that "Sheriff Arpaio is now pulling out all the stops. We are contacting and meeting with as many people as possible who can make a congressional investigation happen.” And, there is an upcoming federal court hearing in the Melendres case, on whether or not U.S. District Court Judge G. Murray Snow will appoint a monitor to prevent the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office from racially profiling in its enforcement efforts.

Hillary Clinton, former First Lady and U.S. Secretary of State, has been toying with the idea of making a second run for the Presidency.

Arpaio's fundraising appeal pulls out all the stops in bringing up Clinton's perceived liberal-ness - that she will "cement the disastrous policies of Obama into America's fabric forever", that Obamacare will morph (re-morph?) into Hillarycare, that she will bring us back to the economic turmoil of the Jimmy Carter era, etc.

Arpaio promises to fight against the Clinton candidacy whether people contribute to the PAC or not.

* There are continuing reports that Arpaio's lead investigator, Mike Zullo, is meeting with Congresspeople and "VIPs" in Washington about using the Arpaio investigation to start a Congressional investigation.

Fellow Patriot,

You know me as the toughest sheriff in America.

You also know me
as a straight talker – I tell it like it is.

My friend, America is in
trouble.

I've spent my entire life fighting for the rule of law and what
is right and just. I have fought against the Mexican Drug Cartels who have
threatened my life and my family. I have fought against the corrupt Obama
Department of Justice that is more interested in scoring political points than
enforcing the law. I have fought against President Obama who doesn't have the
first clue on how to secure our borders or protect our citizens.

Today,
I'm ready to take on a new fight and I need your help.

You see, I'm
convinced that "the fix is in" and that without a huge effort starting right now
– Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States.

Her
henchmen – James Carville and Harold Ickes – are busy greasing the skids,
raising millions of dollars, buying off the competition... all designed to
install her in the White House without a fight.

Well you know me... I'm
always up for a good fight. And fighting for America is what I do best.

Stop Hillary PAC
is organizing across the country to stop Hillary Clinton from ever becoming
president of the United States.

We have a plan – and with your help we
can Stop Hillary Now.

So I'm asking you today — before you do anything
else — to
follow this link and sign your name to our Pledge to Defeat
Hillary campaign.

I know I don't have to tell you the damage a
Hillary Clinton presidency will do to the America we know and love. Building
upon the dangerous Obama legacy, President Hillary Clinton will cement the
disastrous policies of Obama into the fabric of America forever.

>>>

Open Borders and
Permanent Amnesty: Hillary will finish what President Obama and Harry Reid
have started – an immigration policy that rewards law breakers and leaves our
citizens vulnerable to criminals and thugs.

>>>

A Bigger and more
Overreaching Government: Hillary will continue Obama's assault on free
markets and plot to gut conservative and Tea Party groups. Will the IRS start
targeting all conservatives under President Clinton?

>>>

A Foreign Policy
that leaves America Weak and Vulnerable: Does anyone really believe America
is stronger in the world after Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been in
charge?

>>>

Obamacare expanded
into Hillarycare: Hillary will be the ultimate implementer Obamacare –
resulting in sky rocketing taxes, health-care costs and rationing of care?

>>>

Jimmy Carter style
Joblessness and Unemployment: From the big banks to the taxpayer funded
government takeover, a Hillary Clinton Administration will be a dangerous
anti-capitalist government that will destroy our economy.

But here is the real scary part: Hillary is
even closer to the presidency now than ever before.

My friend, if there is one thing
I've learned during my years in law enforcement... it's you can never start
preparing too early for a fight.

Our immediate goal is to collect over 1
million signatures – a grassroots army of Americans committed to doing whatever
it takes to defeat Hillary.

Then we will enact an all-out media blitz to
expose Hillary's left-wing record of failure. Finally, we will target
precinct-by-precinct with a coordinated hard-hitting TV, radio and digital
effort in every county in America that Hillary needs to win the presidency.

One more important thing: we simply cannot achieve our goals without
your financial support as well. I also need you to make a contribution today.

Please, in addition to signing
your Pledge to Defeat Hillary, I urge you make your most
generous contribution to help me and Stop Hillary PAC do what it takes to
ensure Hillary Clinton never becomes President.

I'm going to fight back with – or without – your help. The
only difference is: will I have the necessary resources to fight or will Hillary
Clinton run over us with her mountains of support?

It's up to you.

Please send help if you can.

Very Sincerely Yours, Sheriff Joe ArpaioMaricopa County, Arizona We welcome your comments about this post. Or, if you have something unrelated on your mind, please e-mail to info-at-arizonaspolitics-dot-com or call 602-799-7025. Thanks.
